Bo Bice Watch Party

Bo Bice Fans Meet #3

Fans Watch During the Bo "Watch Party"

Bo Bice has a large, close-knit family with lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins. They could be found at weekly gatherings in the Hartselle/Somerville area of Alabama supporting their favorite "American Idol" competitor with other Bo Bice friends and fans. I attended one such event and was amazed to see congratulation messages posted on the wall from all over the world for Bo Bice, the Alabama boy, with laments because they couldn't be at the "Bo Bice Night" Party:
  • "..Connecticut supports Bo Bice.."
  • "...wish we could be at the party. You probably wouldn't want to have it in northwest Iowa, would you?"
  • "...I'm stuck in the Philippines..."
  • "...I'm so excited, I'm beside myself...I actually called my dog Bo this morning..."

There is a large group of Bo Bice fans that keep growing every day. Bo Bice has a large following of fans who stay in touch via email on Yahoo Groups, where several of Bo Bice's cousins post updates they receive from his mom, who is about the only one who gets to talk to him on a regular basis:

Followers of Bo Bice call themselves "Bo-Peeps" and the "Bice Squad" and have a language all their own, known as Bo-isms:

  • Bo-datious
  • bo-te (vote)
  • Bo-day (Monday)
